Case Study | KABA & Reslam
The Challenge
A large South African banking group was
looking for a way to control their ATM cubicle
estate with a single central system, which
they also hoped would significantly reduce
their costs. They found that most money was
wasted on repeated technical service calls due
to lost or damaged keys, internal or external
vandalism, and arbitrary sabotage of the
equipment in ATM cubicles. Their ideal solution
did not exist yet; thus Reslam was born.
The Solution
The Reslam solution is a highly flexible,
keyless, and geo-locating system that uses
three main components to meet and exceed
customers’ expectations. This highly disruptive
technology combines the industry leading
features of the Kaba Axessor Series of
electronic safe locks with an elegant Android
or iOS mobile component and a secure Reslam
server platform, protected by Wibu-Systems’
CodeMeter technology.
The Success
At the top of the security pyramid sit the
banking and financial institutions where
the initial Reslam system was successfully
implemented. A multitude of other applications
for the Reslam technology immediately became
apparent; Reslam developed versions for the
mid-tier commercial space and ultimately the
consumer space, where the IoT has become
one of the hottest hypes of the age.
The Customer
Reslam was born in 2014 from a requirement
within a large banking group using the Kaba
Axessor Series of safe locks. By extending the
functionality of the locks to enable online
network connectivity via the Kaba E-B@x and
adding an Android or iOS mobile component
together with a high security server platform,
the bank dramatically improved the operational
efficiency of their ATM cubicle infrastructure.
Wibu-Systems’ CodeMeter technology, which
currently protects the software for installing
and managing the Kaba Axessor Series of
locks, has been used exclusively to protect the
Reslam platform and installation software.
Peter Cordiner,
Chief Executive Officer at Reslam
“We have been collaborating with WibuSystems since 2014. CodeMeter is critical to our
business, as it protects our intellectual property
and safeguards our software from illegal
copying. Reslam operates on an international
level with partners in South Africa, the UK, and
the US and has been receiving enquiries from
other territories around the world. As such,
it is important for us to work with a global
company such as WIBU.”
Ken Metcalf,
Chief Technology Officer at Reslam
“Security lies at the heart of our Reslam
technology and WIBU has made it possible
to retain the highest level of security
without losing any flexibility. The wide
range of licensing models offered by WIBU
makes it easy for us to create various levels
of authority per CodeMeter dongle for
Administrators, Installers, Supervisors, and
Users.”
